Lyrics & chords
D
Holdin’ me back
Bm
Gravity’s holdin’ me back
E
I want you to hold out the palm of your hand
A
Why don’t we leave it at that?
D
Nothin’ to say
Bm
When everything gets in the way
E
Seems you cannot be replaced
A D
And I’m the one who will stay, oh
Bm E
In this world, it’s just us
A D
You know it’s not the same as it was
Bm E
In this world, it’s just us
A D
You know it’s not the same as it was
Bm A
As it was, as it was
D
You know it’s not the same
D
Answer the phone
Bm
“Harry, you’re no good alone
E
Why are you sittin’ at home on the floor?
A
What kind of pills are you on?”
D
Ringin’ the bell
Bm
And nobody’s comin’ to help
E
Your daddy lives by himself
A D
He just wants to know that you’re well, oh
Bm E
In this world, it’s just us
A D
You know it’s not the same as it was
Bm E
In this world, it’s just us
A D
You know it’s not the same as it was
Bm A
As it was, as it was
D
You know it’s not the same
D
Go home, get ahead, light-speed internet
Bm
I don’t wanna talk about the way that it was
E
Leave America, two kids follow her
A
I don’t wanna talk about who’s doin’ it first
A
As it was
D Bm
You know it’s not the same as it was
E A
As it was, as it was
